Happy New Year and New Home

To start off this new year, my husband and I have moved to Colorado to be closer to my daughter and her family and the newest member, Leila Noel, born December 19th. So, while I apologize for not writing in the past month, with moving, finding a new home in Colorado and helping my daughter, I took a most important break.

It has been an exciting time. My first grand child whom you will see below. My husband and I will move into our new home later this month and I will start a new crop of microgreens.

Growing microgreens is another miracle birth for me. This sweet grand child grew for nine months, and was well worth waiting for. Your microgreens take 1-2 weeks on average...and a minimum of care.

So, if you haven't taken the leap yet, check out my book on Amazon.comGROWING MICROGREENS STEP BY STEP. You will also find some informative reviews. And do enjoy receipes in the book or on this blog.

Start with a "no fail" crop from the brassica family and feel free to send me questions on the blog if you have any. And I love pictures. So, here is our little miracle: a 9 month crop gift :

Here I am with Leila at about 4 days old

One of my regular customers learns to grow her own greens.Before I left Kauai, four year old Mohala and I are pictured learning to grow sunflower greens. We are checking to be sure our soil is damp enough before we plant our sprouted sunflower seeds.

About Me

I grew up in New England, owned and managed a country inn and then headed West to Hawaii, and the West Coast. My focus is to support healthy living and farming and encouraging folks to grow more of their own food. I do this as a microgreen farmer and educator. I am very happily married to an awesome man and have one wonderful daughter and and a precious granddaughter born 12/13.
